The Nairobi-based budget carrier Jambojet has won a contract to maintain and repair the fleet of Ghanaian carrier Passion Air, its first client after venturing into the maintenance business as a new revenue stream.
The first aircraft under the contract is expected to arrive by Friday for a C-check, a comprehensive inspection carried out at intervals determined by an aircraft’s maintenance programme, typically every 18 to 24 months or after a specified number of flight hours and cycles.
The deal marks a major milestone in Jambojet’s bid to expand into the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) segment, which is dominated by established carriers like Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines.
